Got a 2018 superb, not been driven for 3 days, and today reported low 12v battery. Please drive to recharge. Didnt start on first attempt, left a bit and tried again started fine. Then got message SOS Emergency Call restricted Workshop. Despite driving to charge battery, and several on / off cycles it still remains. Start / Stop didnt work at first, but is now back. Any ideas?

Could be a dying battery?

I am no expert but have not long posted, mentioning that the car battery died. The evening before, I started loosing the automatic parking brake, door mirrors swinging in and out on their own. Next day started fine, nipped into town, wouldn't start again. AA man said that these original fit EFB car batteries have problems. Not often lasting three years, some are dying in less that 12 months.

That was my first guess, after it reported low voltage after 3 days. The battery is only 2.5 year old so shouldn't be a problem, but I note it is a EFB not a AGM.

Read you other post. Did you have a issue with the dealer replacing?

Putting it mildly. Got a cheque from them eventually though.
